Wasted Time

Well baby
There you stand
Your little head down in your hands
Oh my God
I can't believe it's happening again
Your baby's gone and you're all alone
It looks like the end

You're back out on the streets
And you're trying to remember
How do you start it over?
Don't know if you can
You don't care much for a strangers touch
But you can't hold your man

You never thought you'd be alone
This far down the line
But I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
About the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much
No, no
No you just loved the boy too well
Well, well

So you live from day to day
And you dream about tomorrow
The hours go by like minutes
The shadows come to stay
So you take a little something
To make them go away

I could have done so many things babe
If I could only stop my mind
Wondering what I left behind
And from worrying 'bout this wasted time

I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together
You got to leave it alone

You can get on with your search babe
I can get on with mine
Maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time
